ABC says that Extreme Makeover: Home Edition—which back in 2005 was pulling in an average 16 million viewers a week but dipped to less than 9 million last season—will continue in the form of periodic TV specials.

The Emmy-winning series will sign off in true Extreme Makeover fashion on Jan. 13 with its 200th episode, shot in the tornado-ravaged town of Joplin, Mo.

Don’t feel sorry for Pennington. He’ll still be able to help people, thanks to his gig on ABC’s daytime show, The Revolution, coming in January.
